Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Florida

Re: Computers

Get rid of any compromising photos of her and then forget about it.

Re: Computers

You do not have to let your ex-girlfriend touch your stuff (including your PC, even though she may have files located thereon).

However, you're a nice guy and you want the breakup to be as amicable as possible, right? Why don't you and she and a disinterested third party -- maybe a friend of yours -- all sit down at your PC with YOU at the keyboard and search for her photos. If you find them, burn her as many CDs as it takes to get all her pictures stored thereupon and hand those CDs to her; then, in her presence and in the presence of the disinterested third party, delete the files from your computer. Make sure both your ex-girlfriend and the third party see you delete the files (i.e., see you perform the function to empty the Trash). That way, any question of copyright infringement later on can be easily defeated.

If you can't find the files, then you probably deleted them; all you can do is tell her you're sorry and if you find them in the future you'll get them to her.

Re: Computers

Yes to both questions. Why don't you get the program Picasso, run it to locate all your pix and see if there's anything on your computer belonging to her, just as a good guy. If there is, send them to her. I believe the program is share ware.
